Fire Emblem: Three Houses was first revealed at E3 2018 with a gameplay/story trailer. Nintendo did not provide a release date at the time, aside from the spring 2019 window. The trailer showed the classic turn-based gameplay that fans of the series have come to expect. However, this time around players could control armies and not just individual soldiers.

The first Fire Emblem title on the Switch was Fire Emblem Warriors , a spin-off of the Dynasty Warriors series from Koei Tecmo. In that game, characters from across various Fire Emblem games come together to take down a new enemy in classic hack-and-slash fashion.

The last main Fire Emblem game was Fire Emblem Fates , which split the title into two versions - Birthright and Conquest - which gave two different sides of the same story. That was released for Nintendo 3DS in 2016. After that, Shadows of Valentia was released, a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden. This title was also released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2017.

Fire Emblem Heroes , one of the first Nintendo mobile games, is available now for iOS and Android and is regularly updated.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses will release on Nintendo Switch July 26.
